PTSD and Hope

Hope; the desire of almost every person on this planet is to find a way to access the goals of their hopes. We are told early-on in most societies, that hope is the foundation of free-will and that our happiness will be achieved when we arrive at attainment.

Hope as a noun: a feeling of expectation and desire for a certain thing to happen:

Hope as a verb: want something to happen or be the case:

I have PTSD, so there are times when I can’t even remember that I ever had anything for which I should have hoped, so does this mean that I don’t have any hope at all? I like to believe that this not the case, I like to think of hope as being available to me and that I can reach out to hold on to it when I am feeling my most vulnerable.
